Help me give my students recyclable material so they can learn about recycling art.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Williams's classroom raised $270

This project is fully funded

My Project

Every artist needs to learn how to be resourceful. Most people do not see trash bags, or cardboard as tools for creating art, in fact they throw it away.

My class will be learning about environmental art ,and how it came from today need to recycle materials not usually seen as multi purposed.

My students will use items such as trash bags, magazines, tissue boxes and toilet paper rolls to create beautiful works of art that will remind the school how and why its important to recycle. My class will be making, collages, and self made artwork based off the areas that need to be protected the most - forests, parks and places that host greenery. I would appreciate any help so that my students can continue to learn.
